(Curtain rises in the cabin of an aging, stereotypical 17th century Caribbean pirate, last scene, last act),
Well now, hear ye, today is now Monday, the 19th of July, 2021.
This here day is me birthday.
Happy birthday to me!
I'm likely the only mortal to take note of the event, even though I have a live and well, flesh and blood family awaiting my return in the islands (the living room).
A few, kind G@Ggers may be kind enough to acknowledge me birthday...
(is that crickets I'm hearing?)......
Yes, well, ahem,
Blast it all, here I thought I was loved in the G@G world............
What's that?...
(Click, click, clickety click,)
A Happy Birthday wish from a fellow G@Gger?
Well, what more could an old seadog ask for?
Har, de, har, har.....
Well, I love you, as well, my dear.
I bless you, kind G@Ggers.
If the most high be willing, I shall most likely see you, continuing on into this day, as well as on into the hopefully short future.
Good day to all.
I love you.
Many of you love me as well, I know, har, de, har...
Not all, of course, I'm not addle-brained, just old.
Yes, that's right.
Now, don't be tearing up for me.
Rejoice!
.......
Oh, I'm feeling spent.
Woe is me.
I shall not go quietly into that dark night.
I shall rage and scream until the last vestiges of strength have been torn from my failing body, until, at last, nothing remains but the fading echo's of my last futile cries.
Oh, the pity.
Oh, the drama.
What is one more carcass upon the pyre?
Many more await.
Many more stand unaware of the fate which stands before them, foolhardy enough to believe that, yea, they shall overcome death.
Death, though, awaits us, one and all.
Ever silent, ever patient.
Yes, yes, yes, Death awaits us all.
............................
Hello, Death, old friend, it is so good to finally meet you, you've been near me, comforting me, for such a very long time.......................
Yes, it is.... a pleasure.... on my part,........Thank you..........................
What's........ that.....?
Yesssss, you'rrre welllcomme, as wellllllll.............
